Can’t Hold Back the Tide Lyrics by Elliot Valentine Lee, Mel Hornyak

0

Maddox:
It will strike if you’re not careful
And I am very careful
When you’re balanced on the precipice
You don’t have time to choose
It’ll take your hand if you’re not careful
And I am very careful
Never promise it a part of you
You can’t afford to lose
Oh, you indolent, impulsive, insolent boy
The only thing you worship is your pride
If you ever learned, paid attention for once
You’d understand you can’t hold back the tide
It will burst if you’re not careful
And I was very careful
I put togethеr failsafes and
Safes that failed again
It’ll takе your mind if you’re not careful
And I was very careful
I laid a trail of summonings
To bring me back again
It’s not a tool, a weapon, or a thing to be lead
You couldn’t do it even if you tried
It wants what it wants, and if that’s not enough
No matter what, you can’t hold back the tide
Older than darkness, older than light
Stronger than secrets, stronger than might
You’d keep it in hiding to never set free
You are too frightened! You are frightened of me!
I am the darkness, I am the light
You can’t be trusted so I’ll do what’s right
It seeks blood if you’re not careful
I don’t care to be careful
Why should I calm the tide for someone
Who can’t respect it when it calls
It’ll take your life if you’re not careful—
